The Textiles in the Park exhibition in the Stableyard is a stunning collection of artworks created by members of Contemporary Textiles London, a group of artists creating unique, beautifully detailed pieces with a modern twist.
The artworks you see in this photo were created as a ‘challenge’ to make a 50cm square from a maximum of four specified colours. We love the extraordinary variety of designs from a simple brief that work together as a single artwork but also individually.
Do take the time to explore the next time you walk through the park.

These Comtois breed heavy horses have been back in the park this week. We hope you got to see them.
They tow an Allen Scythe, a cutting tool that operates differently from modern tractors. This traditional method is less harmful to wildlife, helps boost biodiversity and climate resilience in the meadows.
Cutting the meadows is a way helps them regenerate, creating nutrient-poor habitats that wildflowers love. It removes vegetation such as native grasses and nettles, temporarily reducing the amount of nutrients absorbed into the soil. This allows the wildflowers to thrive and create a vibrant, biodiverse landscape buzzing with insects, butterflies, and birds.
The slower pace of horses allows small animals, insects, and birds more time to move out of the way.
And with no emissions, the air is cleaner, reducing the impact of pollution on plant and insect life.

What people say
Morden Hall Park NT is a hidden gem that beautifully combines the tranquility of nature with the vibrancy of community life. This ancient, Arcadian country estate boasts magnificent trees and expansive open skies, creating a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of London. The park is cherished by its visitors, who have made it their own sanctuary for relaxation and recreation.
Families can often be seen enjoying delightful moments together—children paddling in the gentle waters, climbing trees, or exploring meadows filled with wildflowers. Morden Hall Park serves as a backdrop for countless memories, whether it's a first date under the shade of an oak tree or a leisurely afternoon spent in laughter with friends.
The park's connection to water is particularly enchanting; the river Wandle flows gracefully through its landscape, offering both beauty and historical significance. This waterway not only nourishes the local ecosystem but also tells stories of the past when it powered local industries.
At Morden Hall Park, there are no barriers—real or imagined. It welcomes everyone: commuters on their morning walks, teenagers cycling along winding paths, mothers unwinding in the fragrant rose garden, and locals gathering at the inviting café. The vibrant wildlife adds to its charm; visitors might catch sight of kingfishers darting over the water or hear herons calling from their perches.
Despite being nestled within London’s embrace, Morden Hall Park offers an oasis of peace where one can escape into nature while still feeling connected to city life. It's a place where every visit feels special—a true testament to its enduring appeal as a beloved community space.
